Android Certifi-Gate remote access security hole exploited | ZDNet
Summary
Thats why when Check Point revealed the so-called "Certifi-Gate" security holes with Android-based mobile Remote Support Tool (mRST) apps, it was a big deal. Bashan also wrote, "We reached out to Google and all affected vendors, and the last we heard they were working to create patches for Certifi-Gate. In an e-mail the company stated, "The updated version of TeamViewer QuickSupport for Android includes an improved security mechanism to ensure safe communication between internal app components. Sources at other affected companies Rsupport, Koino AnySupport, and CommuniTake Remote Care, say that they are working on fixing the weaknesses in their apps that enable this hole to be exploited. In order for a user to be affected, theyd need to install a potentially harmful application, which we continually monitor for with VerifyApps and SafetyNet.
